Tuesday, October 24, 5:30-7pm, Columbus Metropolitan Library [Main Branch] [auditorium], 96 S. Grant Ave.

Come together to listen, learn, and brainstorm with community members about how we can end Mandatory Bindover in Ohio.

About Mandatory Bindover

In Ohio, juvenile court judges must transfer certain youth under the age of 18 to the adult court system if they are charged with — not convicted of — certain offenses. In Fiscal Year 2016, 168 youth were bound over to adult court. We are working with partners across the state to eliminate mandatory bindovers.

About the Juvenile Justice Coalition

The Juvenile Justice Coalition strives to provide a youth-centered organizational vehicle for people affected by the juvenile justice system and their communities through policy advocacy, community organizing and education, and nurturing leadership.

We envision an Ohio where restorative practices, equitable resources, and healing replace a punitive juvenile justice system, and where all youth and families find power in themselves in safe and stable communities.
